What You Need to Know About Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by utilizing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted for consideration of many natural things like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many contemporary rifle optics have around eleven parts which are arranged within and externally on the optic. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The sort of focal plane a scope has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located relative to the optic’s magnifying adjustments. It simply means the reticle is situated behind or before the magnifying lens of the scope. Picking the most beneficial type of rifle glass is based on what style of shooting or hunting you intend on doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture without space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Magnification for Scopes
The quantity of zoom a scope supplies is figured out by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change since it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification power levels. It will note the zoom level in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope could be changed between 2x and 10x power. This always involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished utilizing the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power Level and Range Correlation of Optics
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they could be successfully used. High power optics will not be as useful as lower powered scopes due to the fact that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Glass Lens Coating
All modern-day rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of glass lens finishings. Lens covering is an essential aspect of a rifle’s setup when contemplating luxury rifle optics and scope systems. The lenses are one of the most essential components of the optic due to the fact that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finish on the lenses shields the lens exterior and also helps with anti glare from excess sunrays and color discernibility.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some optic suppliers also use “HD” or high-definition lense coverings that use different processes, chemicals, polarizations, and components to draw out numerous colors and viewable definition through the lens. This HD coating is often used with increased density glass which lowers light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious around items with well defined outlines as light hits the object from specific angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating for Optics
Various optic lenses can also have different coatings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This indicates the lens has had multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can show that a maker is taking several steps to fight different environmental aspects like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also doesn’t necessarily suggest the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Coatings
Water on a lens does not help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing.
Rifle Optic Installation Alternatives
Mounting options for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also typically can be found in quick release versions which use manual levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly mount and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Glass Rings
Normal, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is perfect for rifles which need a long lasting, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Scope Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect tightly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while retaining accuracy. These kinds of mounts are useful and convenient for shooting platforms which are moved a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are employed in between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Details on Rifle Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less impacted by climate changes and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which could possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
